I would try to get a connection at your area's section 8 office, so they can review any property before you buy it, to make sure it will qualify for section 8, and they can tell you how much it will rent for. 

Depending how much you earn you can step up those savings by getting a side-hustle in any part of real estate....working for a top Real Estate office on weeknights and weekends, working for an RE Investor, working for a General Contractor and learning a few skills, etc.

We are trying to transfer the property to this LLC but their office is our registered agent and we can't even reach them.

The recipient of the property – the buyer, transferee, purchasers’ agents, and settlement officers are tasked with holding back 15% of the purchase price, rather than paying it directly to the foreigner investor.

We have an office building with a great long term tenant, that is in a below market rates, and we're good with it because they are stable and NNN.  

We've been looking for over 24 years and it's always the same - some newbie insurance agent says YES, I can get you that coverage and then comes back with a policy for GL on our office location ONLY.We're on the edge of our seat waiting for your solution to that problem...

For proof of mailing, you can request a receipt, or “certificate of mailing”from the post office.

I also had to have an office inspection prior to obtaining the authority to pull credit reports.  

Congratulations on.your goals and ambition I  wouldn't shadow one of the top agents in your office. 

I like several of the app's mentioned but my office is not a model of well-organized efficiency.
